I am so proud of my country, Bangladesh. They are advancing. When I was in Bangladesh, talking anything related to sexual activities was taboo and I bet it still is. Therefore, some people who gets sexually abused or harassed, don’t have the courage to tell other people.

I suggest there should be an awareness campaign of sexual abuse and sexual harassment, so people are more open to talk about it and victims knows where to get help.
